I DRS TANNERS The ParnelIite Given a Chance to Come Forward and Defend Himself. LONDON, July 19-Walter Home Long, Conservative member of Parliament for the Devices division of Wellshire, called the at- tention of the House of Commons this after
 noon to the breach of privilege committed Friday last in the lobby by Dr. Charles Kearns Deane Tanner, Farnellite member for l middle Cork, in calling him (Mr. Long) a snob. Continuing Mir. Long said he had by letter warned Dr. Tanner of his determina- ton to bring the matter before the House. Notwithstanding this Dr. Tanner was now absent, although he had full knowledge that
 his presence was required to defend himself The facts of the case were MT. Long having heard that Dr. Tanner had complained that
 his vote had not been recorded in a certain
 division and meeting him in the lobby
 asked him what was the matter and if any
 thing was wrong in the record of the division
 Dr. Tanner replied: "You're a Tory, aren't
 youa I wish to God then you wouldn't speak
 to me. have told you d-d Tories never to
 speak to me. Qrish cheers.) Talk to your
 own d-d lot" MT. Long answered: 'I
 wasn't aware you didn't wish to be spoken
 to-" Dr. Tanner then went on: ''Keep your
 d-d tongue in your mouth. Don't make
 blasted fool of yourself" Daughter by the
 Parnellites.) As MT. Long was hurrying
 away Dr. Tanner called out: "There goes d-d sncb." MT. Long, after giving this history of the incident, said he would rather have passed over the affair with contempt, but as it occurred within the p.ecincts of the bers he felt it to be his duty to bring the whole matter before the House.
 MT. w. H. Smith, the government leader, said that in view of the necessity to main- tain decorum he would move that in conse- uuence of his disorderly words Dr. Tanner be suspended for month. Mir. Sexton said he considered such a proceeding scarcely less disgraceful than the language complained of Dr. Tanner had frequently requested Con- Long would have acted wisely if he had not spoken to Dr. Tanner. At the time the doctor was excited over his exclusion from division. The incident did not deserve the treatment it was accorded and Dr. Tanner did not deserve the severe penalty proposed. As to his absence, he was in Ireland keeping public engagement. He would meet the accusation any day appointed for him to do so. MT. Sexton moved to ad iourn the debate until time when Dr.. Tan ner should be present.
 Mr. Smith reminded the House that no request for delay nor any apology had been offered by Dr. Tanner. He had had ample notice that his conduct was to be brought before the House. Mr. Parnell submitted that there was precedent for member for a month without giving him & chance to be heard to repel the charges against him. MT. Gladstone said he thought that the proposed punishment for the of fense, supported by ex-parte evidence only, was disproportioned to what was usually ad- ministered. MT. Smith, after hearing MT. Gladstone, said hewould not press his mo- tion, and instead would propose that Dr. Tanner should attend next Thursday and to MT. Long's charge. This was agreed to.
